    Hi all,

    Just wondering about the aftercare of a back tattoo?

    I'm getting the whole back done. All my other tattoos are easy to reach etc but I'm wondering how others got on with looking after the back while it healed? Also wearing t-shirts etc etc. I had the chest done a few months back and the healing was grand if a little awkward trying to wear a t-shirt etc.

    Just looking for advice. Cheers in advance.

    I had someone on hand to help me clean and apply bepanthen to mine which was lucky.

    As for your clothes, I took to sellotaping a layer of clingfilm to whatever top I was wearing. Make sure the top is loose enough so the clingfilm isn't actually sticking to the tattoo and the skin has room to breathe. It just helps prevent the tattoo from getting stuck to your t shirt.

    Lateral thinking. I love lateral thinking. :)
